Hi everyone! Welcome to August's Assignment!

The theme for this month is "Colour", as suggested by naniani who won the June 2010 competition. Be sure to read the whole post for the rules.

In naniani's own words:

"My choice for next months assignment is COLOUR.
You can submit an entry which is dominant in any one colour of your choice, Or it can be a variety of colours. It can be contrasting, or moody, dramatic , bright and bold, or very subtle, i leave it up to you to decide. I would like to see photos that scream out WOW. So come on everyone have a go show us what you can do.
No colour popping is allowed, and not too much pp.
I hope to see loads of entries.
Good luck to you all.
Sue"

The rules!

1: You can only submit one image and it has to be taken during August 2010. Photos taken earlier will be disqualified!

2: All images submitted must be no more than 500 pixels on their longest side, although you can include a link to a full resolution version if you like. Flickr users must link back to the original version to comply with its latest rules.

As always, please exercise good judgement on what is suitable for the forum. See the Forum Rules for guides.

Please include a sentence or two with your photo describing what you were trying to achieve and if there were any particular challenges in doing so like, for example, any special exposure or lighting setup.

We're all enthusiasts here, so it's also great to see what equipment you used and the settings too. So please also include the following:
